Chapter Index

    A lot happened during the day, but surprisingly, it is now the second day of practice.

    So much happened in one day, so many people died, and so many great beings died.

    People were confused, terrified and frightened as groundless rumors and rumors were mixed together.

    But one thing.

    Thanks to a piece of information announced early in the morning, people were able to feel at least a little relieved.

    “Jumo, did anything happen when you woke up?”

    “No big deal? There was. The chairman himself appeared on TV and gave a speech. Hacked all over the world.”

    “…You recorded a video, right?”

    One piece of certified information.

    -The goblin of the desperate Imae Mangryang executed a being named Duoksini.

    This information was so certain that it did not require separate verification.

    Not because it is true, but because the head of the company, and no one else, came forward and said it.

    The leader does not lie.

    Her theory is that if a person who aims to conquer the world tells lies, no one will believe him, so the leader must always tell the truth.

    …At least that’s the case when I speak in front of the media.

    “You said you would sort it out yourself, but did you mean to reveal the whole truth?”

    “There’s nothing you don’t like, right?”

    “Nothing.”

    I added salted shrimp to the soup and checked the video again.

    “There are two reasons why the Chairman announced that I killed Duoksini. One is to prevent the arrow from returning to the Platinum Sun, and the other is to inform the world that Duoksini was killed.”

    “Duoksini’s death?”

    “Okay. Rather than profiting from hiding information, it was believed that the most urgent thing was to spread information quickly and calm the chaos in the world. Look at this.”

    I opened the stock app on my tablet.

    “From the time when it was said that Duoksini released the devil in Korea and 500 people died, or to be exact, when it came out officially that they could not catch Duoksini despite the uproar. NASDAQ hit bottom as soon as the US market opened.”

    An accident occurs in Korea and the U.S. stock market crashes?

    It’s natural.

    The center of the world is Korea, and since an accident that cannot be responded to has occurred in Korea, the whole world has no choice but to tremble in fear.

    “There was even a circuit break. With complete trading halt.”

    “And then it was lifted….”

    “30 minutes after the official broadcast on Imaemangryang.”

    Ants living in America must have experienced hell.

    If a devil emerges in Korea that cannot be dealt with, it means that no one in the world can deal with it.

    “Because I was known as the person who killed Duo-eok-sini, I prevented the collapse of the international economy. The Chairman decided it was important, and I agree.”

    “Well, there is no need for the Chairman to ask Manager Do’s opinion, but…”

    “Chairman’s opinion is my opinion. And the Chairman will never do anything that will cause me to lose money.”

    “Even if it’s an all-out war against pandemonium?”

    “It’s actually a good thing.”

    If you think about it, now is more of an opportunity.

    “Now, the whole world has become hostile toward Douoksini and those behind it. No one dares take their side. Now that Im Mae Mangyang is at the forefront of an all-out war against them, if this is done well, we will be able to take one step closer to world domination.”

    We have eliminated those who turn people with special abilities into demons.

    And he wiped out the organization behind which he was one of the seven stars.

    Lee Mae-mang-ryang protected the world from threats that the nation could not resolve.

    That alone is enough to secure support and public opinion toward Lee Mae-mang-ryang in the future.

    “Okay. That’s enough.”

    “For that matter, Manager Do, his expression was really bad while watching the video.”

    “…That’s a different reason.”

    I pointed to the black silhouette.

    “Why did you come out and talk like this, Mr. President?”

    “…I guess you just wanted to do that.”

    “No, haha. You might not even notice this…”

    Looking closely, I realized that the turtle that was placed on the lower abdomen was not there for no reason.

    It’s not actually a turtle, but since it only appears as a silhouette, let’s just pretend not to notice.

    “I’ll have to consider it later. Why did it come out the way it does now? People must be going crazy right now. The leader’s appearance has changed.”

    “It seems like certain factions like it?”

    “…Aren’t those specific forces the ones who need the FBI?”

    Changes in the head of the company also became an issue.

    -You’ve gotten younger! After all, this is the truth!

    -Police man, it’s here!

    -Actually, isn’t that what it originally looked like? The head we’ve seen so far was Geodai.

    -What is it then, mulberry?

    Of course, thanks to the sense of relief that the existence of Duoksini has disappeared, we can talk about the change in the leader’s appearance.

    -Anyway, the commander himself came out and said that the goblin killed Duoksini, so Duoksini must be dead for sure.

    Everyone can be relieved that Duoksini is dead, otherwise they would have condemned the Korean heroes who could not capture Duoksini by now.

    That stray bullet would have spread to Baek Seol-hee and Platinum Taeyang as well.

    “Thanks to you, this country is on the rise. Thanks to the Chairman’s intervention, all the meetings we had until dawn were useless.”

    “…maybe.”

    He must have made all sorts of plans to find and kill Duouksini, but unfortunately, all of those plans turned out to be garbage.

    By now, you’re probably wasting resources by throwing all the press releases you’ve printed into a shredder.

    Moving around needlessly and acting needlessly.

    “Then what we need to worry about now is… Oh, are you awake?”

    “Ugh….”

    Doyle stumbled and sat down at the table.

    As soon as she sat down at the table, she put her head down on the table, and the mother-in-law turned her head in the direction of the induction cooker with a slightly embarrassed look on her face.

    “Morning….”

    “Jumo. Bring milk.”

    After putting down the spoon, I took out the bowl from the cupboard that I had previously requested from the pension owner.

    “Hey…? Isn’t that a bit harsh?”

    “It’s okay.”

    At first glance, it looks like a dog food bowl, but that’s right.

    “Pour milk.”

    “……What about people.”

    “I’m not human.”

    Dool rubbed his cheek on the table and then raised his head.

    “It’s a ghost.”

    “…Even if you are a ghost, drinking milk in a dog bowl is okay.”

    “This is my food?”

    I took the milk from my mother and poured it into the rice bowl, and Dool put his head down in the bowl and started licking the milk with his tongue sticking out.

    Clap, clap.

    Jumo seemed a little shocked by that sight.

    “Why? Is it okay to see this executive Lee Ma-mang-ryang eating like this?”‘

    “……Gunggi, ah, no. Don’t say it.”

    “She pecks.”

    “…….”

    Joo Mo covered her face with her hands.

    “Others now know Jejeol as the dark hero who prevented the world’s crisis, but the two-headed chariot of Jejeolsa is now eating breakfast like this.”

    Joo Mo lamented and pointed at me and Dool.

    “What a world.”

    “That’s the way the world is. You can’t always dress up in a suit and keep your head straight.”

    I scooped up a spoonful of perilla seed powder and put it into the soup.

    “That means the mastermind is more comfortable. Take it easy.”

    Clap, clap, clap.

    “Now what you really have to worry about is…”

    “Platinum Sun?”‘

    “No.”

    The Platinum Sun issue is just a minor problem for some people.

    “The real thing is different. That’s where the story comes out.”

    Although it is also a problem derived from the platinum sun.

    “ZENLOS, what are you going to do now?”

    Those who became demons and then were purified.

    “It’s obvious what humans do.”

    Fear, disgust, hatred towards them.

    “You’re not going to lie down and make a fuss. How can a devil come into the neighborhood where I live?”

    Humans are.

    It’s human.

    * * *

    -This is breaking news. The government requests arrest warrants for ‘persons with loss of ability’ as soon as vaccine administration and adaptation are completed….

    “…….”

    Gyeongbu Expressway, on the way down to Busan.

    Baek Seol-hee sat in the back of the limousine, lost in thought while watching the news.

    “Senior. What do you think, senior? About Zenros.”

    “Well.”

    Baek Seol-hee turned her gaze out the window in response to a question from ‘Blast Girl’, an A-class hero who was riding in the limousine with her.

    “First of all, we should finish the investigation.”

    “Will the investigation really be carried out properly, or will the ruling be made properly?”

    “Kim Eun-jung, what do you want to say?”

    “That.”

    Blast Girl, Kim Eun-jung took out a list using Taegeuk Watch with a serious face.

    ” Among Zenros, there is also the son of a former minister and a relative in the legal profession.”

    “…So you won’t be punished because you are relatives of the judges?”

    “Even if you are punished, will it be with a soft bat? Well, that would be a pain in the ass. How many years if you killed a few people, how many years if you caused property damage… Ugh. When I see things like this, I think it’s right for goblins to do it.”

    “What if you say that too?”

    “That’s right. senior. You must have felt it because your senior fought an S-class demon with a goblin.”

    Kim Eun-jung approached Baek Seol-hee with a meaningful voice.

    “If the goblins come forward, we don’t have to get blood on our hands-”

    “Goblin is not a bastard. You shouldn’t use him like that.”

    “Of course, with goblins-”

    “Don’t talk nonsense.”

    Baek Seol-hee warned in a cold, subdued voice.

    “If you say that one more time, I’ll get angry…”

    Sigh.

    The car stopped.

    The cars following, including the limousine in which Baek Seol-hee was riding, also stopped one by one.

    “What is it? Was the road damaged?”

    “Well, that.”

    The driver who was driving in front pointed forward with a serious look on his face.

    “In front of me, people are lying down right now, occupying the road.”

    “……Yes?”

    “I’m wearing a red headband and I’m lying on the road right now.”

    Baek Seol-hee immediately opened the limousine car door and went out.

    fluttering.

    Banners flutter on flagpoles stretching left and right.

    Baek Seol-hee could not help but be mesmerized by the contents of the red letters hastily scrawled on the white cloth.

    “Once a devil, always a devil, I am against entering Busan…?”

    It’s “. senior. Is that the NIMBY you see in textbooks?”

    “…….”

    Clink, clink, clink!

    The sound of a gong rang out, and someone started shouting with a loudspeaker.

    “Why bring the devil into Busan! What do you mean!”

    “””Why?! What do you mean!”””

    “The Hero Association awakens! Awake!”

    “””Awaken! Awake!”””

    “The devil goes to hell! Criminals must be executed!”

    “””To the execution site! To the execution ground!”””

    “Execute the villain! Bring the goblin!”

    “””Call me! Call me!”””

    “Ha.”

    Baek Seol-hee had goosebumps running down her spine.

    “Now, you’re protesting to kill all the demons who are gen-rothed…?”
